Love at First Touch
Chapter 17 - Good Morning
The sun had risen and the blinds, which were slightly open, invited the light to illuminate Mimi's bedroom. Mimi rubbed her eyes as the light disrupted her slumber.
She sat up on her bed and looked over at the clock.
7:00am
Mimi couldn't believe how early it was. She was accustomed to waking up at 12pm for what she considered beauty sleep. However, today was different.
She picks up the telephone and proceeds to dial.
"Oh my God, you won't believe what happened to me last night!!!" Mimi shrieked to the person on the phone.
"Meems, do you have any clue what time it is?" Belle says as she lets out a yawn.
"I know, I know! But I couldn't sleep anymore. I'm too ecstatic and need to share." Mimi continued.
"Ok, hmmmm. what could this be about? Did you find the formula to silence people? I'd like to borrow it sometime so I can SLEEP!" Belle said in a joking manner.
"How rude. No, silly, it's about last night. I had the most amazing night."
"With my brother? Amazing night?" Belle questioned, who was obviously surprised since Brady never showed any interest in her best friend.
"You will never believe this. Brady told me yesterday that he felt the same way and didn't approach me in that way because he thought I would never fall for him. He thought I looked at him as a brother. Can you believe that?"
"And?? That can't be the whole story. Spill." Belle said.
"From that moment on, our night was magical. We danced and kissed and it was just . magic." Mimi explained to Belle as she began feeling tingles while thinking of the night before.
"Awwww, Meems, I'm so happy for you. I'm glad your crush is turning into more now and that it is a mutual thing. You two are going to be so happy discovering love." Belle said as SHE started thinking of her night.
"You mean, the way you have discovered love with Shawn??? Tell me, how'd it go for you?"
"It was really romantic, but things became intense really quickly and I had to compose myself before I did something I would regret. Although, I can't wait until the day comes when." Belle was interrupted.
"Yuck! Don't give me the gory details!" Mimi said as she burst into laughter.
"Oh please, like you don't want to jump my brother's bones. Yuck, now that's something I don't want to think about." Belle replied as she joined Mimi in laughter.
*Knock knock*
"What the." Both girls said as someone was knocking on both their doors.
Over at Belle's House
The door opens slightly after the brief knocking.
"Sweetheart, you have a young gentleman who would like to see you. Should I let him in?" Belle's dad said as he took a few steps through the door.
"Dad!! Close the door!! I just woke up!!" Belle yelled.
She jumped from her bed and ran to her dresser. Nervously, she grabbed the first thing she saw and picked up her hair.
While Belle was desperately trying to make herself look presentable, her dad decided to disappear from the room and allow the guest to come in.
"Awww, you getting all pretty for me?" said a sexy voice from the side of the room.
"Shawn!!! I can't believe he let you in!" Belle said as she threw a cute temper tantrum.
Shawn walked across the room and slipped his arm around her waist to bring her closer to him. His face now inches from hers.
"You don't need all of this to be beautiful." He whispered as he placed his hand on her head and removed the object that was hold her hair up. He threw the object on the bed that was a few feet away.
He then lifted his fingers to her lips and said, "I have to find a way to get rid of this lipstick as well. I think I have the perfect solution."
Shawn gently placed his hand in the back of her head again and drew her in. Their lips met and Shawn softly tugged on her lips while giving her an earth-shattering good morning kiss.
"Mission accomplished."
Belle looked in the mirror and noticed that her hair was a mess and her lipstick was all gone. Although she was always worried about the way she looked, she couldn't help but smile at the man that was standing by her.
"I know a few other things I'd like to take off." Shawn said as he motioned for Belle's sleeping tshirt.
"Shawn! Shhhh. my dad DOES live here, you know?" Belle said, as she turned red thinking of her dad possibly listening in.
"I hope you don't get sick of me, because this is going to happen more often." He said as he brushed his fingers by her cheek.
"I would never get sick of you."
"I wanted to know if you'd like to come to dinner and meet my parents." Shawn started pacing the room with a tense look on his face as he was worried that Belle would think it's too soon.
"Sure."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, how about tonight?" He asked.
"It's a date."
"Ok, I'll leave you to do your girl stuff now." Shawn giggled.
He moved to her and gave her a slight peck on the cheek before leaving.
At Mimi's House
"Who's there?" Yelled Mimi through the door.
A singing voice came from behind the door.
"...you are my everything...
i've been thinking of a way to phrase it
seem to never find the words to say it
but it's true to say
i've been occupied by other things
how could i think that you wouldn't notice
the absence of our closeness
realizing now
i will never let it happen again"
Mimi KNEW that voice and was excited. She swung the door open to find a dozen roses in front of her face blocking her guest.
She removed the flowers from the person's hands and placed it on the table by the door.
She turned around and stared at the remarkable figure standing before her.
With a huge smile, he said, "Well, what are you waiting for? You going to let me in?"
Mimi, obviously in a trance by Brady, shook her head and opened the door all the way. She stepped aside and motioned for him to come in.
As Brady walked in and sat on her bed, he heard the door slam behind him.
Mimi went up to Brady and sat next to him on her bed. The awkwardness of the moment began building up.
"The flowers are beautiful. You are so thoughtful." Mimi said, trying to break the ice.
"Not as beautiful as you are right now."
Mimi blushed. She wasn't used to guys telling her such sweet things. In fact, she always had bad luck with men.
"I'll take your blushing as a compliment." Brady continued, "I brought you a gift."
Brady hands Mimi a CD.
"This is one of my journal CDs. For years, I've been recording my emotions onto CDs so that I can reflect on things I've felt in the past. This one is from a year ago and I'd like you to listen to it when you are alone."
Mimi was intrigued. She was curious to find out what the CD contained that would be of interest to her.
"This is too personal, I can't accept it." Mimi says as she tries to hand the CD back to Brady.
"I want you to have it, it's a copy. It involves you and you should know what it says." He explained as he pushed her hand away.
"I need to take care of a few things today. I will call you later and see how you are doing." Brady said.
"Leaving so soon?" Mimi said as she became saddened by his departure.
"I have to, I need to take care of something important. I will call you."
"Okay."
Brady didn't like the saddened look on her face, so he lifted her chin up with his hand and gave her a kiss on her lips.
She smiled and lit up as Brady turned away from her and walked out the door.
